The Skin is the same as the Scheme so far as I know. GJ labeled it a a skin in mobile passion, but it is a file that goes into the Scheme folder.
But I have both SCHEME and SKIN folders, and people in those forums instruct to create the SKIN folder, as well as in the folders structure of Primo 1.x downloads.
Are you sure? Where did you put yours to make them works?

!!! You got me, sorry I mixed up the two. Schemes are what the day/night maps look like and Skins are the interface (much larger files). You can download any Skin and put them in the Skin folder (make sure they are compatible with Primo 1.2). With Schemes, you change them through map settings, and skins through display in settings.
Well, the buttons are working when launching in Chuck's mod through the download below. It turns out AEKMapScan relinquishes control from MainMenu and Primo then sees them. Now when you tap the Primo icon AESMapScan launches and closes before Primo launches which allows it to see and use the buttons. Note the Menu hard button isn't mapped just yet, when we figure out a way to get back to Primo from the Top Menu it will Minimize Primo.
I have also included the 30 and 60 second main menu files. To use them, go to settings, customize quick menu, and add external programs in a slot. Launch the quick menu (top right button of the overview screen) and tap external programs. Tap scan programs, and delete all programs but MainMenu30.exe and MainMenu60.exe. Don't worry, it just deletes them from the list, not the unit itself. Now if you tap one of these icon it will take you to the stock Top Menu which will allow you to change the AV source, settings, ect and it will show Primo after the time specified in the file name. Once again, this method of getting to the main menu is a little unorthodox but will have to do for now.
This isn't in the main download on post #1 just yet.
Unzip, and copy over the files on your unit.
Removed, obsolete
ryar,
I just created some mortscript files in the attached Primo.zip, unverified on my head unit yet. Below is the explanations:
Voila! Please tell me whether this is working.
EDITED: Huuummm, running the AEKMapScan.exe application with the CwGoPrimo.mscr script leads to AVIC reboots. I commented out those lines and things are going good. Why?

Can you tell me which one is similar to GJA's v2.6 for Primo 1.2? It seems that GJA teams up with AK or something ... latest version?
Upon exiting Primo, AVIC reboots if SKIN other than the default day/night has been used, which indicates a memory usage issue.

Do you mean Primo 1.1? GJ_AK v3 10.0 is the latest and is similar to the one that came with the old Primo 1.1 version. Two things I noticed that maybe weren't improvements, no more home/work/village buttons and minimum zoom is 500 m. I liked 350 m on 1.1 but am getting used to the change. It is worth using 1.2 IMHO. The hardware buttons didn't respond in 1.1 and the new voices are welcome after listening to the 80s robot sounding Samantha.

Mine always rebooted after exiting, I thought it was normal. I haven't noticed any other memory issues, it has run rock solid since first installing it a month ago.
ryar, v1.2 is good.
Can you point me to the place to change the price of the gasoline? I easily find it in v1.1 but not in v1.2.
Thanks.
ryar,
I just created some mortscript files in the attached Primo.zip, unverified on my head unit yet. Below is the explanations:
- I moved AEKMapScan.exe to the extension folder for consistency reason. SYS.txt is yours.
- I modified the original CwGoPrimo.mscr script (please move this file to iGo\Extension folder) to create an instance of Explorer prior launching Primo ... will be used later (i.e. you will have access to the Start menu after minimizing Primo).
- If you launch Primo through my mod with the .mscr script, you don't need to create corresponding .exe file, of course provided that the Quick Menu accept .mscr as executable programs.
- The TopMenu.mscr will first create two shortcuts to the RestorePrimo.mscr script, both in Windows Desktop and Favorites, then show the MainMenu.
- After you finish using MainMenu (TEL/AV etc), you can tape on the lowest end of the LCD, then you will see Windows Start menu (I know this is a patch, not perfect). From there, you can click on one of the shortcuts created earlier (rather than waiting 30 or 60 seconds).
- I also created a new shortcut to go back to iGo8 if wised (just link it to the Quick Menu)!
Voila! Please tell me whether this is working.

Thank you for your contribution! I will try it out tomorrow.
Not sure where to change price of gasoline, I will post back when I find it.
Hi,

Hi,

Because EzRider or iGo was not killed/terminated with the previous CwGoPrimo.mscr script, so iGo is still using the GPS device. Use the new one in the archive below.
I also modified CwGoIgo8.mscr. Please linked it as per ryar's instructions in the previous page.
Wierd, I can't find where to set the price of gas anywhere! Just taking a guess, but if you go back to the default skin you can set it from "green settings" and then go back to the newest skin (GJ 10.0).
Good find ryar! Thanks.

Weird, I commented the AEKMapScan lines back in and have no reboots. Just curious, why do you have 3 lines to kill ezrider? Maybe killing 3 of the same process at once causes instability?
kill ("ezrider")
kill ("ezrider.exe")
kill ("iGo8")
I just use kill("ezrider") and it kills iGo8 with it.
On another note, it seems that when I run AEKMapScan it allows Primo to see the buttons upon launch but they will no longer while in Top Menu and AV. For my f500bt it is fine as I don't use it for music, but would not having buttons available when out of Primo an issue for other units?
The initial process launched by AVIC is called "ezrider".
Ezrider.exe launched from Windows Explorer or from Primo is called "ezrider.exe".
Application name on the taskbar is called "iGo8".
So I just build one universal 
. If the process doesn't exist upon a kill command, Windows just ignores it.
I might want to test the AEKMapScan again, but when I removed it after rebooting, it works fine. If it doesn't serve any purpose, then I will just not use it. Can you confirm?
BTW, you will need matching .EXE for all .MSCR when scanning application with Primo v1.2, and it is unpractical comparing to the External Program provided by v1.1 
, in which I can link in the SYS.txt a program called .MSCR.
I missed the HOME, WORK and VILLAGE buttons too. Is there a GO HOME button in GJ v10?
I will find a good fit and let you know ... I don't have lot of time though!

ryar, in Default skin, where can I find the "green settings"?

For me AEKMapScan is the most valuable extension yet! After running it Primo can see the hard buttons which are labeled in the sys.txt. If it is not running the Pioneer shell will not pass the buttons through to Primo, making them impossible to use. To have a working map button, volume dial, zoom in/out, ect. is invaluable! Once we can get the main menu button to bring us back to Primo, I will map the menu button to minimize Primo and show the Top Menu. I can verify that with the proper command it minimizes Primo (xC4 = "MINIMIZE"). After all the hard keys are working we can have Primo auto-launch upon startup as it will be fully functional. We are getting close!
Well, I have got all the hard buttons working both inside and out of Primo; the Map button brings you back to Primo and the Menu button brings you to the stock Top Menu. I am having some stability issues while playing music, however. I will try it out for a bit before posting. If you would like to test it shoot me a PM and I will send it to you, I just don't want to provide a file that crashes everyone's units!
And? I am aware of the Russian mod. It seems no one has gotten it converted to English yet. Post is here for those interested:

Edit: Thanks, link added to post #1, looks like a very impressive mod. Gotta try it out sometime soon!

Congrate ryar. I'm looking forward to the autolaunch from my mod for Primo. Right now, I can back and forth between iGo8 and Primo, without crash (for some reasons)!
Could you please PM me the new files?

It still won't let me PM you!

Am I on your PM block list for asking too many questions? (hehe) Well, here it goes anyways. A few things to note, I thought I had button control from both AV and Primo but is turns out it is one or the other. In other words, the joystick/volume knob control song/volume, ect rather then tilt/zoom in Primo. Also, for some reason the map button only brings you back to Primo from the Top Menu, not AV. Too bad! You will have to go back to the top menu via soft keys, hopefully we can find a fix. As you mentioned before, an SD card with music should be in the unit before launching Primo for proper sound and volume control. Hopefully this is a better alternative to what we had before, please let me know how it works! The buttons are mapped to mortscript files in the Primo\extension folder if you want to play with them.
Looking forward to the autolaunch! Oh yeah, never did find the Green menu. Found it (in GJ 10.0)! In the Quick Menu, go to Route Settings, then Vehicle and tap the settings icon next to default car. Fuel mileage and price of gas settings are there.
Chuck: Do you know the name of the process once inside AV Source? I think I am trying to minimize the wrong one.
Well, must be a forum bug. I have nobody in my BLOCK list . Just PM you for testing.
To view the process names of all running tasks, use one of the application Task Manager wincetm.exe in my MOD's Application Menu. I believe the AV program's process name is "AV", or "AV.exe".
I wired the AV control to my steering wheel, so I can start SD/USB music inside Primo, but with the F500, you are out of lucks.
Thanks for the Green Settings, you're good!
ryar,
Now your CwGoPrimo.mscr is better. At your previous posted one, you launch AEKxx.exe then kill it after a couple of seconds ... that I don't understand.
For your new showxxxxx.mscr scripts, you might forget another application that is also running: Tel.exe.
Ciao!
The restoreprimo and restoremainmeu both are set to minimize AV, but it doesn't work.
I find when I launch the wincetm.exe and go to the AV Source menu it maximizes and will not let me see the process that is running (the process may be closing when I exit the AV Source). If it is AV, it doesn't listen to a minimize command
How are your buttons now, can you get back to Primo from the Top Menu OK?
